Word ladders were invented by Lewis Carroll in 1878, the author of Alice in Wonderland. A ladder is a sequence of words that starts at the starting word, ends at the ending word, In a word ladder puzzle you have to change one word into another by altering a single letter at each step. Each word in the ladder must be a valid English word and must have the same length. For example, to turn stone into money, one possible ladder is given on the left. Many ladder puzzles have more than one possible solution. Your program must determine the shortest word ladder. Another path from stone to money is stone store shore chore choke choky cooky cooey coney money Objectives Practice implementing and using a Queue data structure.

the correct answer is a) her connection with a character

this is correct on edgnuity : )

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
